Absolutely insane. We were literally the leading economy in the world after the pandemic and Trump and this stupid Republican Congress torched it.

just a thought: no movement should ever depend so completely on the reputation of its chosen figurehead that one of its founders is forced to make a calculation like this on behalf of its survival

Same with Putin and with Trump. These people do not expect to be held liable or suffer personal consequences in their lifetime. So they do what their ego demands, trying to shape their "legacy", knowing that others will pay the price and suffer the consequences of their reckless actions.

Man, fuck these guys. Absolute babies. The US team was a stain on what was otherwise a sublime baseball tournament.

Much like the "lab leak theory" of covid, "the Jews" is another racist conspiracy to absolve Trump of responsibility for being an abject dipshit.

call me old fashioned but I don’t think anyone should have to trade for “no deporting US citizens” we should get that one for free you know

I don’t think people really grasp how effectively Talarico’s kind Christianity is an existential threat to Christian Nationalism.

Congress can stop this madness any time they want to. This is on them.

But they remember

Trump does not think strategically, historically, geographically, or even rationally. He does not connect actions he takes on one day to events that occur weeks later. Allied leaders know that if they help him in the Gulf, he won't be grateful, or even remember www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

i think a lot of the audience for this kind of shit has realized they don't need to get up and get dressed on sunday mornings when trump gives them vanity, greed and nihilism to worship every day on the television

He was certainly afraid of Vietnam-style combat in Vietnam.

SCOOP— Trump wants a 24k gold coin w/ his face on it for America 250, but an official at a late February coin advisory committee meeting called it something only done by "nations ruled by kings or dictators." After NYT reported the criticism, US Mint yanked online vid of the meeting w/o explanation.

I see some GOP pushback saying that people are quick to call this a quagmire. Maybe. But Trump never prepared people for this, then he immediately said we WON. Then he begged people to help with the strait. Americans have tolerance for pain… if they’re told why.

Okay but what if Trump was personally criticizing you as an official act in his capacity as president?

I posted a 1912 photo of a man with smallpox and someone asked if it was AI. That says something about the moment we’re living in: because of vaccination, we’re now so far removed from this virus that real images of it look fake. #medicalhistory #vaccines #vaccineswork #skystorians

I feel shame.

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

The dementia-ravaged president is increasingly spewing nonsense and acting erratically, with dangerous consequences for the entire world and it seems like that really should be all we're talking about.

America first is letting foreign companies come into the US to mine copper?

Here's an easy job for the next sane administration: Bovino has now openly lied multiple times under oath, an offense which upon conviction per 5 USC 8312 strips defendants of any federal retirement benefits to which they might have been entitled

You can't grant the premise that Reagan, W, Trump, & the GOP have been right about taxes since 1980, AND tell voters you're going to give them the nice things, AND tell them that the debt is too high. The math doesn't work, & also it's a recipe for creating disillusioned voters & losing elections.

Psychotic and evil

These are the things that have historically led to revolutions. Not sustainable.

We need to call this what it is - psychosis. Psychotic thinking not based in reality.

He’s sick.

This would just be achingly sad if this terrified, willful ignorance and amorality didn't make life worse every day for so many millions of people.

mom can you pick me up at the strait of hormuz, my friends are laughing at me and wont help

I still don’t know who killed Alex Pretti.

NATO is a defensive alliance whose main goal is deterrence, not a mercenary force

Killing people and destroying things “just for fun” is psychopathic behavior and even saying it is something only a psychopath would do and every U.S. news organization should be shouting that from the rooftops. Editors: Rise to the challenge of truth-telling or make room for someone who will.

It's indefensible that the legacy media are not covering Trump's mental deterioration as the major story that it is.

Indeed, Donald Trump's mental illnesses and the American press and political class's appalling and shameless cowardice in failing to address them will be someday be a mandatory part of the curriculum for secondary-school and university students the world over.

Failing to prosecute Trump for obstruction of justice over his Russia ties was a gigantic mistake. There is a sick relationship between Putin and Trump, and we need to know exactly what it is.

Trump wants nations he has denigrated for nearly a decade to come bail him out after he started a war without consulting anyone but the voices in his head. Maybe he should ask the dictators on his “Board of Peace” for assistance.

The way our nation turned its back on those who helped us at great risk to themselves and their families is an unforgivable national shame. We owed Mohammad Nazeer Paktyawal. Instead, ICE arrested him in front of his children and he died in their custody. We failed him and his family.

41 years old, evacuated here legally, asylum case pending, kidnapped while driving his six children (one a US citizen) to school. Dead within 24 hours. Betrayed and murdered by the United States government. 42nd confirmed and reported death in ICE custody under Trump.

So dark. Kushner raises billions for his fund while the family of a soldier killed in Truml’s war gets help on Go Fund Me: www.gofundme.com/f/major-alex...

Officials are normally presented with ceremonial swords or paintings or whatever. But these guys are so fucking stupid that foreign intelligence agencies can literally give them an "Honorary Electronic Communications Device for a Very Special Boi" and they fall for it every time.

republicans are in charge of everything and they are getting everything theyve ever wanted and doing everything theyve ever wanted and the world is on fire and the global world order is collapsing. is there a correlation? who can say

Starting with affordable quality public higher education:

👇🎯 The key to solving ~every 21st century policy problem in 🇺🇸 is primarily just re-adopting 20th century policy solutions (immigration, higher marginal tax rates, more public investment) that we discarded/did not extend to everyone because of either Reaganism, racism, or some combination thereof.

Trump "wants Ukraine out of the way" says a former member of his administration. Russia expert Fiona Hill told the BBC's Global Stories that Trump and Putin are negotiating for themselves, with Putin wanting the US leader to hand him Ukraine, so he can turn it into a vassal state.

Aleksandr Vladimirovich Smirnov was a GRU asset assigned to assist Trump in the 2020 election by making lies surrounding the Burisima scandal seem more credible. He was convicted, sentenced, and now the Trump administration is helping him ge out. link.motherjones.com/public/44694...

Never fund DHS again. Abolish it completely. If someone wants to moan about "but but we have to ____" yeah fine we can discuss a new department, but *this* department has to go.

Trump: “I take Putin at his word”

“I broke it now you fix it.”

The alarming fact is that we’re not even close to the bottom with this madman.

The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled. A truly extraordinary moment. We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. Act like it.

Days after declaring total victory and boasting that no other military could match the US, Trump is now begging other countries — including China — to send warships to stop his Iran war from spiraling into catastrophe. A galactic humiliation.
